group policy preventing much internet access
Dennis, I have internet access but, certain servers I should say such as lime
wire and even my avg anti virus for an exemple, I get a message saying there is a firewall blocking connection or a loopback in my system. I have tried to setup my windows firewall but it tells me certain options and being controled by Group policy and that my windows firewall is off! Does that help? thanks "Dennis Dow" wrote: wrote: How do I turn off group policy and windows firewall on so I can access the necessary web sites I need to.I'm the solo user on my pc. thanks Default Windows firewall and group policy won't keep you from getting to the Internet unless you are on a corporate lan. If you are on a corporate LAN, talk to your IT guys. If its a home machine, let us know more information so we can help. Dennis

group policy preventing much internet access
Ok Dennis I guess you aren't reading my message's correctly! Like I wrote FOR
EXAMPLE, yes I did mention limewire ONLY FOR AN EXAMPLE! This is a clean install of XP home w/sp2,fresh. I can not even connect to update my AVG antivirus database. There are other servers I'm having the same trouble with. As I said I recieve a message stating , windows firewall is turned off and some settings are being controlled by group policies. My question is how do I turn off group policies and turn on my firewall? I am on wireless broadband and am the only user on this pc. I hope you have a better picture. Thanks for your time and I hope you can help.

Dennis To be honest, if you have limewire on the network, I wouldn't trust any machine on the LAN. Time to nuke 'em and begin again. IMHO

A fresh install should not have any group policy set.
If you are on a network the server can enforce group policy on your system. " wrote in message ... Ok Dennis I guess you aren't reading my message's correctly!
